fucking hilarious how effortless it is for them to alternate between "guns don't kill people" and "oh shit it wasn't me--the gun did it!!!"
but seriously-- if you live anywhere near bumfuck tumptown hickville, for fucks sake tell your kids not to go up on anyone's property. i live in one of these areas, and the government couldn't hire anyone to go door to door doing census count for that one reason. they. will. fucking. kill you
